“It is a tough climate for fundraising as the world market is going through flux and investors are very selective. It’s a real testament to our platform and its multiplier effect; we got oversubscribed for our series. The world needs an MESCBN platform which can connect supply chains across entities, starting from a supplier or distributor framework,” said Samir Neji, founder of #dltledgers.

#dltledgers platform is used by over 4,000 businesses participating in, financing, or supporting cross-border trades. More than $4 bn-worth of trades have been executed on the platform.

Deepak Chandra, Global CFO, Wipro Consumer Goods said, “We have been with Dltledgers for the last two years and have seen the impact of their MESCBN blockchain platform across our suppliers and distributors. It has helped us streamline processes, build a connected supplychain and increase collaboration with two-way agreements, saving us time, effort and cost across multi party transactions.”

They have built their platform keeping in mind three key factors, "Digitization, Collaboration, and Authentication," focused on delivering three key pillars of trust, privacy, and security. Their blockchain technology will make digitizing the global trade processes and extended supply chain easy with their "No code" and Plug-and-Play platform.
